The word "recovered" does not mean anything. It is that instant when you realize that your life is never going to be the same. That food, eating will always be looked at in a new light. That being "recovered" means constanty having these same thoughts about food, and it tortours you because when they said that you would be able to recover you never thought you would STILL feel the same terrible feelings -unknown
Its just that, if I eat then I have to deal with these emotions that come rushing back to me. Its like, if I can't be perfect then I don't feel like I have anything -unknown
Perfect: something that you try to hard to achieve on a daily basis. The thing that you fail at every day -unknown
Because one day you wake up and realize that the people you love, your hurting them with your actions. and they say "just eat" and you smile, and wish it was that easy -unknown
It's crazy how we always end up where we're meant to, how even the most ironic situations eventually teach you something you'd never dreamed you were going to learn -unknown
There's no way around it, I hurt the one who meant the most to me -unknown
Maybe I'm just scared that you, after being here for so long, are falling out of my reach and I can't do anything about it -unknown
There's a memory somewhere that I can't erase -unknown
And every situation in your life is meant to teach you something, take that as the most valuable gift anyone could ever give you -unknown
And if we really do feel the same way for each other and we're just hiding it, I'd hate to think you're in as much pain as I am right now -unknown
you know what my fear is? that one day we'll pass each other on the street and have that artificial conversation -down to you
A soul mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys that fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longing, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soul mate is the one who makes life come to life -unknown
Somebody like you can really make things all right for me -requiem for a dream
I love you. You make me feel like a person. Like I'm me, and I'm beautiful -requiem for a dream
Why be capable of feelings if you cant have them in return, why long for things that arent meant to be yours? -unknown
There's people you're known forever. Who know you in this way that people can't. Because they've seen you change. they've let you change -unknown
Don't you know you're the most beautiful thing to me? -unknown
If two people love each other, but they just can't seem to get it together, when do you get to that point of enough is enough? -unknown
I need you and you don't know how hard that is for me to accept, but it's a whole hell of a lot easier than trying to imagine my life without you -unknown
You can't wake up and not love someone anymore, it just doesn't happen that way -unknown
And I don't know how to say goodbye to you without saying goodbye to a part of myself -unknown
When someone is gone from your life for a really long time, you start to forget stuff about them. Like, you forget what their voice sounded like, and how they loved you so much, and how everything you did was completely okay with them -unknown
I think for a moment, how important it is to have people who know you, people who will fight for you -unknown
There was something special about summer something that spread across rooms and years and memories, and for the length of a song I'd been part of it once again -unknown

The problem with letting go of the fantasy now is that without it, nothings stands between us and the despair of a lifetime -geneen roth
I believed that my unhappiness has to do with my body -geneen roth
When I allow myself to be thin, I told myself, it will be symbolic of my willingness to receive pleasure; being thin will be my statement to myself and the world that after so many years, I finally believe I am worthy of love -geneen roth
It did not heal the underlying suffering and repressed aguish of childhood and it never will -geneen roth

I wanted to crawl out of my life -geneen roth
You don't have to push me away -geneen roth
You're not my friend anymore -geneen roth
You make life so hard on yourself. Even now when you have someone who wants to love you more than anyone has ever loved you, you insist on toughing it out alone -geneen roth
I don't know how to reach out when I feel like I'm alone. I push you away because I believe you have already gone away and I don't want to seem like an idiot reaching out to someone who doesn't love me. If I felt I could - if, in that moment - I believed that you cared about me and wanted to help, I wouldn't push you away -geneen roth
I don't want to pretend that I am fine -geneen roth
It seemed to me as a child in one moment everything was fine and in the next moment, everything had fallen apart -geneen roth
Sometimes the best way to learn who you are is to go to the place where you don't have to be anything else -unknown

love doesn't require you to be perfect, but it does require you to forgive -boy meets world
sometimes the things you complain the most about are the things you care most about. unfortunately, you don't always know that before it's too late -boy meets world
if something bad happens to us someday, it'll never change what we have now. what we've always had, because you were right. love is real and we have to do everything to keep it alive. wherever life takes us, i want it to be with you, forever or until tomorrow -boy meets world
when you're a little kid, you're a little bit of everything. artist, scientist, athlete, scholar. sometimes it seems like growing up is the process of giving those things up. one by one. i guess we all have one thing we regret giving up. one thing we really miss. that we gave up because we were too lazy or, we couldn't stick it out or, because we were afraid -the wonder years
but that was the problem with having the answers. it was only after you gave them that you realized they sometimes weren't what people wanted to hear -unknown
nobody's life is filled with perfect little moments. and if it were, they wouldn't be perfect little moments. they would just be normal. how would you ever know happiness if you never experienced downs? -unknown
you shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it -sex and the city
Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have -unknown
i have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow i am still in love with life. this ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our most melancholy propensities; for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one's very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten out hearts away -unknown
to those of you who have pushed me, thank you - without you i wouldn't have fallen. to those of you who laughed at me, thank you - without you i wouldn't have cried. to those of you who just couldn't love me, thank you - without you, i wouldn't have known real love. to those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you - without you, i wouldn't have felt them. to those of you who left me lonely, thank you - without you i wouldn't have discovered myself, but it is to those of you who thought i couldn't do it, it is to you i thank the most because without you, i wouldn't have tried -unknown
growing up is never easy. you hold on to things that were. you wonder what's to come, but that night, i think we knew it was time to let go of what had been and look ahead to what would be. other days, now days, days to come. the thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. we just had to forgive ourselves for growing up -unknown

You have to live as if you are going to die tomorrow and not leave anything unfinished -geneen roth
It has meant so much to me to be this close. I haven't had a friend like you in such a long time. You have kept after me, you have let me get away with not being in touch, and I feel good about the commitment I made to us -geneen roth
I would miss you so if you died -geneen roth
I love you and I am glad you are my friend. You've been wonderful -geneen roth
It puts a frame around every thought, every feeling, and it doesn't allow you to give yourself or the people around you any slack -geneen roth
Some days I am thrilled and other days I feel like hell, but at least I feel something -geneen roth
You are either hating yourself because you are too fat, giddy with the prospect of being thinner, or ready to rip yourself apart when you binge -geneen roth
Suffering is a way of being in the world -geneen roth
I want to destroy myself -geneen roth
I hate this creature that I am -geneen roth
I was myself as a child and that didn't work. If I had been a different self, I surely would have been loved. Now I will try being someone else -geneen roth
You never have to let another human being come close -geneen roth
Intimacy is showing another person parts of ourselves -geneen roth
No one tells us that the hard part isn't finding a partner, or losing weight; the hard part is getting there, it's being there -geneen roth
If nothing is wrong, then why are you looking at me as if you don't know me? -geneen roth
In my desire to avoid the hurt I felt as a child, I avoid the intimacy I lacked as a child -geneen roth
In our present relationship, the possibility is that in speaking the truth, we'd go back in time to the moment when we learned not to speak the truth -geneen roth

I know you won't call, and I know you don't care, but I really miss having you here -unknown
And it's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew -unknown
I'm not bitter any more, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you -the notebook
you were the boy i had waited my whole life for -unknown
It's a funny feeling when that person you thought was gone forever comes waltzing right back in your life. It's unexpected but not a surprise -unknown
You'll never know pain until you look into the eyes of someone you love and they look away -unknown
I'm content with myself, even though I'll always value your opinion. I'm sorry I've disappointed you, I never meant to. I'm young and I still have a lot to learn. I know I haven't always made the best choices, but those bad choices have always taught me a lesson. I don't need you to point out all of my flaws. They are a part of me. And I can almost promise you, I'll mess up again and again. So either accept me as I am, all of me -- or be your own friend -unknown
and in the middle of all this, i started to think about the one thing that makes me feel really good and makes immediate sense, and it's you -unknown
there is something about the moment when you realize that everything that you've been waiting for for your whole life is standing right there, there ain't nothing like love -unknown
you want to know what happiness is? it's waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, shifting under the blankets and feeling the heat of the person next to you. you turn around and see them in their most peaceful, innocent, and vulnerable state. they breathe as though the weight of the world lays on anyone's shoulder but their own. you smile, kiss their face in the most gentle manner so as not to wake them. you turn back around and an involuntary grin forms on your own face. you feel an arm wrap around your waist, and you know it doesn't get any better than this -unknown
and if there's no tomorrow, and all we have is here and now, i'm happy just to have you, you're all the love need somehow -unknown
My heart beats only for you -everwood
when i look into his eyes, it's like my whole world is flipped and everything is put into a new persepctive. i can do things i never thought i could do. i can say things to him that i thought i would never be able to say to anyone before. it's like i just want to be with him forever, hold him in my arms, kiss him, and tell him how he's changed me, my life, and my everything -unknown
the way our hands fit, the way our eyes meet, the way i melt when you're holding me. there's not a piece that's out of place. i can see the way i feel. it's written on your face, and there is no mistake -unknown

“I used to care a lot about what people thought of me. Then I learned that I definitely can't please everyone. Some people will love you, some people are going to hate you." -unknown
We talked a little today. We shared some civil, almost light or humorous words, and yet it didn't feel the way it used to. I didn't get the feeling that I used to, rather there was a knot in my stomach. You looked in my eyes as we sat across from each other and I held it as long as I could handle and this time, I was the first to look away. Nothing is the same anymore. The looks aren't the same, the bond is not the same, nothing is the same. I know we've fought to stay strong for a while but sometimes. I feel that being strong would mean letting go. Maybe one day, we won't pretend anymore. Maybe one day it will be okay again. That's all I want. I don't care what it takes; I want it to be okay again -unknown
Just because you're leaving that doesn't mean I am letting you go. - Unknown.

Sometimes you have something you need to say but you can't, because the words won't come out or you get scared or you feel stupid. So, if you could write a song and sing it, then you could say what you need to say and it would be beautiful and people would listen and you wouldn't make a complete idiot out of yourself. But all of us can't be songwriters, so some of us will never be able to say what we're thinking or what we want other people to know we're thinking, so we'll never be able to get the chance to make things right again -unknown
I used to know you like the back of my hand -the spill canvas
I know we tried so hard, there's just no hope for us -the spill canvas
So this is what it feels like not to believe in anything -unknown
Everything that I thought was good and real in my life has been shattered -unknown
I could probably learn to let go, but there’s just know one else that GETS me -unknown

I know it's been a long time, but just for one night, do you think that we could be "us" again -unknown
I thought I meant more to you than that -unknown
There is a certain beauty in bleeding that cannot be compared to anything else -unknown
the hardest thing about drifting apart with a friend is seeing them having the time of their lives with someone who isn't you, knowing that you didn't mean that much to them, knowing you're not missed -unkown
the older you get the more you realize you need the people you knew when you were young -unknown
Do you ever wonder what would have happened. If we'd tried being honest? Maybe you'd still be here, And maybe I'd still want you here -unknown
Friends are the ones you never argued with but best friends are the ones you argue with all the
time but alway overcome the differences -unknown

Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself, cause I didn't know you, cause I didn't know me, but I thought I knew everything -mariah carey
I'm not the same person as i was a couple of years ago and I know this. I have gone through hard times. friends have betrayed me. I've learned that people can talk about you all they want, but at the end of the day the people that are by your side through all of it are your true friends. there the ones that you need in your life more than anyone. I've learned that dreams can be shattered so easily and you have to be careful but having no dream at all is worse. So you can sit there and say that i've changed. And i will tell you that you're right. You can't go through all of that, you can't go through highschool without changing in some way -unknown
Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good and what is not won't. Relationships are worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you must just move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don't lose something real. Always fight, until you can't anymore, and then be fought for -unknown
Sometimes when you hit rock bottom, You have to go back to the people you used to know. The ones that were there. When you didn't have to hide your tears -unknown
I'm never happy with the person in the mirror -unknown
To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart, And to sing it to them when they have forgotten -unknown
Friendship means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last, even if contact is lost -unknown
Trust is a fragile thing. once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom. But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course, the truth is we never know who we can trust. Those we're closest to can betray us. And total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned"-Desperate Housewives
In the end we always return to the people that were there in the beginning -unknown
A friendship that ends never really began -unknown
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom, and make the sky ore beautiful to gaze upon. Some people stay in our lives awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same -unknown
Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words -unknown
How do you know you've found your best friend? When you are ready to talk to them about anything, even though they know everything about you already -unknown
Remember that every good friend was once a stranger -unknown
Suddenly everything has changed -unknown
There have been lots of ups and downs, but ultimately, at the end of the day, that's what makes you who you are. Ultimately, we all know how to laugh, we all know how to cry, we all know how to be held tight, we know how to love back. We all know heart break, but the world keeps moving and we keep moving along with it. And everything we experience helps us realize how beautiful life is -unknown
It's times like these that make me realize I need to change -unknown
"You never know what a person will do until you push them into a corner." - Inside Man
No matter where you run, you're always going to end up running into yourself -unknown
It's just a simple line, but remember the good times, because they'll never let you down when you're alone -unknown
The important thing is not to be bitter over lifes difficulties. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in darkness and despair, remember - its only in the black of night that you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards comes from doing things that scare you the most, maybe you won't get everything you wish for, or maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined, who knows where life will take you, the road is long, and in the end, the journey is the destination. ~ one tree hill
It always rains the hardest on the people that deserve the sun -unknown
I’ve finally realized that I don’t deserve this -unknown
Just allowing things to suprise you, cause life's all about learning and changing and growing, and just because you don't understand something now, doesn't mean you won't later -unknown
It's those little tiny things strung together that remind you of how amazing life can be -unknown
it's the struggles that matter, it's the failure that makes you who you are: no one ever developed their character by having things go their way. it may be the oldest cliche in the book, but there's a reason people say it all the time. you can hope for happiness all you want, but in the end the tears are what will keep you going -unknown

The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you. -Lost In Translation
It felt like you and I were the greatest plan ever made and I had nothing to do with it. Being with you made me feel that, maybe I didn't have to plan anymore because it felt like I was actually living, and for once in my life I wouldn't have to work so hard at being happy, that it could just happen, nothing will ever hurt me as much as your reaction to that same experience -Boys and Girls
I'm not that girl anymore. I never really was. And I'm -- I'm not that white-as-snow image you've got, either. I'm somewhere in between. And I'm -- I'm just trying to figure it out -dawsons creek

maybe there isn't such thing as good friends or bad friends, maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when your hurt and help you feel not so lonely, maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for, maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be, no good friends, no bad friends, only people you want, need to be with you, people who build their houses in your heart -unknown

love is seeing him how no one else does, love is when you know he's not perfect, but you see him perfectly, love is thinking about him day and night, love is when he means the world and even more to you, love is when no one else understands how you feel, love is when you miss him even before he leaves, love is when you could listen to him talk all night and never get tired of hearing his voice, love is when the sound of his name sends chills down your spine, love is when you see his smile the second you close your eyes, love is the best feeling you can feel that touches your heart in ways words cannot explain -unknown

It's funny how one summer can change everything. It must be something about the heat and the smell of chlorine, fresh cut grass and honeysuckle, asphalt sizzling after late-day thunderstorms, the steam rising while everything drips around it. Something about long, lazy days and whirring air conditioners and bright plastic flip flops from the drugstore thwacking down the street. Something about fall being so close, another year, another Christmas, another beginning, so much in one summer, stirring up like the storms that crest at the end of each day, blowing out all the heat and dirt to leave everything gasping and cool. Everyone can reach back to one summer and lay a finger to it, finding that exact point when everything changed. That summer was mine -unknown
Isn't it funny how you go day by day and nothing seems to change but then one day you look back and everythings different -unknown

And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on earth -geneen roth
I spent the largest part of everyday thinking about what I wanted to eat that I shouldn't and what I should eat that I didn't want -geneen roth
As I began spinning a world in which there were only two players, food and me, my capacity to be affected by other people diminished greatly -geneen roth
Nothing mattered to me except being thin -geneen roth
I discovered that it wasn't being thin I wanted, it was getting thin -geneen roth
I could not be deeply hurt by another person -geneen roth
When I did feel rejected by someone, I reasoned that she or he was rejecting my body, not me, and that when I got thin, things would be different -geneen roth
I didn't know how to engage myself deeply with a person -geneen roth
I am speaking of intimacy, of surrender, trust, and a willingness to face, rather than run from, the worst of myself -geneen roth
People abuse themselves with food because they don't know they deserve better. People abuse themselves because they've been abused. They become self-loathing, unhappy adults not because they've experienced trauma but because they've repressed it -geneen roth
The next step is to engage deeply with ourselves and with other people. To open our hearts and let love in -geneen roth
I believed that if I were thin, I would be beautiful -geneen roth
But, through it all, I built a cool blue shelter in a corner of my body that promised a life of tenderness and beauty -geneen roth
And then I realized that beneath my longing to be thin was the belief that being thin would mean being in love. When I pictured myself thin, I never saw myself alone. Being thin meant being happy and being happy meant not being alone. Being thin meant being in love. Suddenly I wanted a partner as much as I had wanted to be thin -geneen roth
It's better to be alone than to be lonely with someone I don't love -geneen roth
For a moment, the two of you are one person. Can you imagine anything better? -geneen roth
I was still dreaming about him -geneen roth
I was afraid that I was not enough of whatever it took -geneen roth
I liked the way he looked at me -geneen roth
I just want you to know how glad I am that I met you and that you are in my life -geneen roth
I want to see only you. I think I'm falling in love wirh you -geneen roth
If this is a dream, don't wake me up -geneen roth
I smiled so much my mouth hurt. I kissed him so much my lips got numb. I liked myself better when I was with him. I was kinder, calmer, happier. I was pulsing with love, blooming with light -geneen roth
And then slowly, I came back to myself -geneen roth
My best dream had been taken away. I really thought that losing weight was going to change my life. But it only changed the outside of me. The inside is still the same -geneen roth
I'm still angry and lonely and now I don't have getting thin to look forward to -geneen roth
After waiting all our lives for tenderness and beauty to arrive in the form of being thin or being in love, it can be devastating to discover that neither one can be found in either one. Not when the expectation is that we will lose ourselves. Or find ourselves -geneen roth
Compulsion is despair on the emotional level. The substances, people, or actitives that we become compulsive about are those that we believe capable of taking our despair away -geneen roth
It was the feeling I carried inside my body that my world was about to rip apart and there was nothing I could do about it -geneen roth
I am dreading the seperation because it strikes a familiar terror in me. I don't want him to leave -geneen roth
If you leave, I will have nothing left -geneen roth
I look at my life now. There is nothing to despair about. But sometimes, often, something will happen and everything around me -- the sky, my body, will turn to clay -geneen roth
I love you too much to leave -geneen roth
I know this is hard for you -geneen roth
Loving him was supposed to take the pain away. Instead, it brings it up -geneen roth
I wanted her to tell me that our world was not going to fly apart at any moment and that I could stop trying so hard to be good -geneen roth
But it is only a substitute for love. Food is not, nor was it ever love -geneen roth
But I think what I am afraid of is not being good enough. That something deep down is wrong with me and that I am not worth loving -geneen roth
She became very good at leaving her body -geneen roth
Love is the willingness and ability to be affected by another human being and to allow that affect to make a difference in what you do, say, become -geneen roth
Compulsion is the act of wrapping ourselves around an activity, a substance, or a person to survive, to tolerate and numb our experience of the moment -geneen roth
It is my belief that we become compulsive because of wounds from our past and the decisions we made at that time about our self-worth--decisions about our capacity to love and whether, in fact, we deserved to be loved -geneen roth
Someone we are close to dies and we decide that there is no reason to love anyone because it hurts too much in the end -geneen roth
We decide that love hurts and that we are unworthy or unloveable or too demanding, and we live the rest of our lives protecting ourselves from being hurt again -geneen roth
It is not possible to be obsessed with food or anything else and to be truly intimate with ourselves or another human being; there is simply not enough room -geneen roth
Intimacy is not something that just happens between two people, it is a way of being alive- geneen roth
For those of us who are used to waiting for someone to bring love to our lives, the discovery that being intimate is a choice that we make at every moment is as close to magic as anyone ever comes -geneen roth
They look at her and miss the girl she used to be. The one who smiled at sunsets and laughed at funny movies. Now there is only a shadow of her smile and the echo of a laugh that once brightened up every room -unknown

Apologies won't count, things never work out, don't understand my life, nothing seems right -madison
I have to find a place where I can hide my face -madison
These feelings are intangible, and I can't let go -madison
Your picture starts to fade, you were my only friend, I think I'll let go, memories of the past we had, needles in my back, forgotten hopes of you -madison
I can paint a thousand pictures with the colors of your eyes -madison
I'm staring at old photographs in a wallet I once wore. Never knowing phantoms haunt my dreams -madison
And I lied when I said I was fine -unknown
Take my hand, I can't do this alone -unknown
And you, you gave up so easily, and I guess that's what hurts the most -unknown
There is something that I see, In the way you look at me. There's a smile. There's a truth in your eyes. But an unexpected way, On this unexpected day. Could it mean this is where I belong? It is you I have loved all along -unknown
The first time I looked in your eyes I knew, that I would do anything for you -unknown
Sometimes it's best to let one thing go to gain the one thing you truly want -unknown

You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the water filled my lungs -unknown
There's nothing I can do to draw you close to me -unknown
I'm sorry but I can't forget about the way I feel, Every time you're here -unknown
I just want to be good for someone, I never feel like I am good enough for anybody, and I want to feel that so badly, I just want to touch people's lives. I want to be someone's hero, someone's inspiration for once -unknown
sometimes you have to try your hardest not to care; no matter how much you really do -unknown
He has the type of smile that could make a girl's heart stop -unknown
You shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it -sex & the city
You make my whole world shine -unknown
When you're around someone so much, for so long, they become a part of you. You don't know who you are without them -unknown
Sometimes I think we love people so much we become numb to it because if we actually felt how much we loved them, it would kill us -unknown
And never forget what you did to me, but I'll never let you know I remember -unknown
You wonder how you got to be like this, wondering when your next brveakdown will be and dreading it, you wonder how you got to feel like this, wondering how you can overcome everything that has gotten in your way, and you wonder how it got to be that your life is falling apart, and all you can do is sit and watch it -unknown

I wanted to know everything -lucky
It was also an undeniable truth -lucky
My worry for her became my life raft -lucky
He held me until I had to pull away and then he let me go. He was miserable, and I cannot even now imagine what was going on inside his head -lucky

I'm here for you -lucky
I wanted my mother to know I was alright -lucky
My body was shutting down now -lucky
My life was over; my life had just begun -lucky
And they beckoned to me that there was another side to life I hadn't seen -lucky
I may have wanted my mother to change but not to die and never to be replaced -lucky
Even then I felt the absence of something I couldn't then name and it hurt me -lucky
The more distraction, the less chance she would notice my approach -lucky
The more they loved it, the harder they fought to keep it -lucky
I want to, but I'm not going to make it -lucky
I wanted to be the child I had always been for my father -lucky

I remember her looking over at me on the couch while my mother was talking, how much she wanted to say something and how the word just wasn't one anyone could say -lucky

I was afraid of their comfort, that to feel anything was to feel weak -lucky
I needed what gave me hope -lucky
Your poem said all the things I've been feeling inside for years. All the things I'm so afraid of feeling -lucky
Every moment in that room was precious to both of us -lucky
But our motivations were different. I wanted her to fall -- for that was how it was seen in our household, so I wouldn't be alone. She wanted to fall so that she would have more in common with most of her friends -lucky

Inside I wrote something that escapes me now. It was sappy and came straight from my heart. It said I would always be there for her, all she had to do was call -lucky
I wanted to be better, but I didn't know how -lucky
You never get over certain things -lucky
Who would have thought something that happened that long ago could have such power? -lucky
Saying goodbye is easy it's knowing what we have to leave behind that's tough -unknown

I am living for something I can't even explain -unknown

You almost had me thinking you were turned around, but everybody knows almost doesn't count" -Brandy, Almost doesn't count
You are everything I never knew I always wanted -unknown
I was thinking of all the pain I went through because of you, all the tears I spent crying over you: just some boy. But then I got past all of the sadness when I reached a point in my daydreams when I was happy with you, when everything just seemed so right. And then, somehow, crying didn't seem like such a big consequence for receiving the gift of love -unknown
I'm happy yet I'm sad. It's like I have everything yet I'm missing something. I just can't seem to put my finger on it. I can't seem to smile, most of the time I just want to cry. Everyday I try but I get nowhere. I'm on the verge of falling. I'm holding on the edge, I can't let go and for some reason I have no control -unknown
Have you ever felt the need to slit your wrist, let all feelings of guilt and depression out, then sew yourself up to be happy again?--Heather Hubbard
I'm not afraid of happy endings, I'm just afraid my life won't work that way..." - Jessicka
Some things you lose and some things you just give away." - Jessicka
The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy." Jim Rohn
Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly."
--"Dream," Neil Gaiman's The Sandman
"Its just when you want...no need people to be there for you they're not. They're like a million miles away and when you think someone is totally reliable and trustworthy and you've built your whole life around them and then it turns out they were never that person."--My So Called Life
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. -- Gilda Radner

The most beautiful smile is the one that struggles through the tears -unknown

Just because something ends doesn't mean it never should have been. -unknown
I need you. I need that guy who can make me laugh just by the way he says hello when I pick up the phone, the guy who makes my hands shake when I'm sitting next to him,and the guy who isn't afraid to keep hugging me when I'm not ready to let go yet -unknown

I started to ache when I started to think of you -mae
There's so much I can fake, there's only so much that I can prove -mae
Well I'm a wreck, I really can't explain it but I, I hear the music when I look at you, orchestrating the song to accomodate the moment, well, I'm so in love with you -mae
Is this what you wanted? Cause I'm willing to change -mae
The nights are forever and maybe I'm wrong but it feels like I'm so lost without you -mae

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts"- Margaret Lee Runbeck
